Salford Red Devils have announced two significant updates concerning their team members this week.
First, center Tim Lafai has been handed a one-match ban following a review by the disciplinary committee. The ban comes as a result of an incident in a recent match that warranted action from the governing body. As a consequence, Lafai will be unavailable for the upcoming fixture against St Helens at the Totally Wicked Stadium, posing a challenge for the team as they adjust their lineup to cover his absence. The club and fans will undoubtedly feel the impact of losing such a key player, albeit temporarily.
In more uplifting news, Kallum Watkins has been named in the Round 20 Team of the Week. This accolade recognizes Watkins’ exceptional performance in the latest round of matches. His inclusion in the Team of the Week highlights his contributions on the field, showcasing his skill and dedication. This honor brings positive attention to the team and underscores the high level of talent within the squad.
As Salford prepare for their next game, they will have to navigate the challenges posed by Lafai’s suspension.
